2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the bolt for the 48 V ground connection under the passenger seat may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the wiring could overheat and melt. 

Safety Risk: 
Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the ground connection.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal bracket may not have been welded properly. As a result, the pedal could deform and/or detach. If this happens, the accelerator pedal could stay applied and/or block the brake pedal, causing reduced braking. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A vehicle that doesn't slow down as expected or accelerates on its own could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, reduced braking can increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to secure the accelerator pedal bracket.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the fuel delivery module could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. 
Note: This is an expansion of Transport Canada recall 2023-353. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel delivery module.

Issue: 
Under certain conditions, a software problem for the electronic stability control (ESP) control unit could cause the power brake assist not to work properly. As a result, there may be an increase in brake pedal effort and reduced braking. 
Note: This recall only affects plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models.  
 
Safety Risk: 
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the ESP control unit software.
